Unfortunately for people who don’t have cable, ESPN will be broadcasting this year’s derby. However, you can still watch the 2014 Home Run Derby by heading over to this ESPN page.

Click on “2014 Gillette Home Run Derby,”  and you’ll be able to pull up a live stream. However, in order to watch it, you’ll need a valid cable subscription, and you’ll need to verify that you have one by typing in your cable username and password, so keep that in mind. Also, remember that there’s a WatchESPN mobile app, in case you can’t get yourself over to a computer tonight.

The league’s official streaming service will also be carrying the Home Run Derby, but there’s no free version of MLB.TV. While you reportedly don’t need a Premium subscription to MLB.TV to watch the 2014 Home Run Derby, a regular account will still run you $19.99 per month, or $69.99 for the rest of the season.

Major League Baseball’s own app will also carry the 2014 Home Run Derby. According to Gotta Be Mobile, you’ll be able to watch the event on your smartphone or tablet for free. The app itself costs you nothing, so all you have to do is head over to the Google Play or iOS app store, and grab the app. If you own a microUSB to HDMI cable, you can hook up your mobile device to your TV or laptop by plugging it into your HDMI port, and watch it that way.
